On hold to make dr's appointment at 8:30 on a Monday morning.

An iconic pairing.

@DJDarren the best part is when they phoned you to ask me to phone them on Monday morning to make the appointment. Instead of just making the appointment.

Please enjoy footage of Milo launching himself up the stairs this morning because we hadn’t got up to feed him yet.

Molly, a tabby and white cat, walks towards the top of the stairs before Milo, a black cat, launches himself up the stairs into the air

Happy from Molly who makes the most adorable funny little scrunchy face when she’s happy and she’s happy with her new IKEA box.

Can anyone think of a reason why a PC would completely lose the ability to shut down on its own?
It started happening a while ago so I did a clean install and now it’s happening again.

It’ll get to black screen, monitors go to sleep but it doesn’t switch off.
I tried disabling fast startup but now it just hangs on the blue shutting down screen. It can’t restart either.

Windows 10, nothing wrong with hardware afaik. #PCHelp

Looking at the four candidates for PCC in Hampshire, and not one of them is standing on a platform of abolishing the police because they’re bastards.

I’m properly disenfranchised here.

@DJDarren thought to be fair, one of them wants to abolish his own job

Thanks Apple.
Really not what I wanted to wake up to this morning. At least I was at home I guess.

Apple’s iCloud security is already flat out annoying.
Why do I have to tell my phone I’m allowed to log in on my PC every 14 days?
The “stay logged in” box means nothing.

Me: is it me? At the same location, using the same device, IP and browser as I was two weeks ago and every two weeks before that for at least a year?

Finally Toob have arrived in our area and opened sign ups.

Just in the nick of time as our current discount to £32/month with Virgin ends in 4 days and that plus the April price increase would put our bill up to SEVENTY FOUR POUNDS just for broadband. 250mbps but still…

Oh, and a phone line we have literally never even hooked up a phone to but were forced to take.

Cannot wait to be rid of them.

This week’s photo challenge was “Orange”.

I shuffled round Royal Victoria Park in my Deadpool pyjamas to capture this quite orangey building.

When I was going through photos of Dad and me, there was one I put in the slideshow but couldn’t figure out where it was taken.

I was just scrolling through the clock app to this video of Polperro, Cornwall and I knew immediately.

More or less in the exact same spot.

As a consequence of renaming our video doorbell “bum hole” and getting the new tv, I can now shout “show me my bum hole “ at the TV as a legitimate command.

I am 44.

FFS Dashlane are moving to annual subscription.

I’ve got everything set up so I have access to mum’s passwords and encrypted notes on anything that isn’t online login. It’s really handy.

If I want to keep it, as of next month I’ll need to find £70+.

It’s the worst timing financially too.

I hope whoever made this decision wakes up with an unbearably itchy asshole.

I get really irritated when I subscribed for a certain type of content on YouTube and that channel decides to do something else.

For example, one of my subscriptions who did very chill videos about driving round London is now only posting football matches.

Another did nice videos about travelling round UK canals on a boat for years then suddenly sold it and now does videos about their house in Scotland.

Troggie,
@Troggie@mendeddrum.org avatar

Obviously when you subscribe to people who are posting personal content, their lives change and so will their content. I do understand that.

But I didn’t sign up for football, I have no interest in it at all. I have no interest in a Scottish house either.

Why can’t these people just keep doing what I want? It’s just rude.

Troggie,
@Troggie@mendeddrum.org avatar

Obviously I’m not serious.
I just miss chill driving videos and canal boat content.

Met these splendid, tiny flowers this morning. They’re growing up from the moss between the bricks on a bridge and seem to be having a great time.

And I reiterate my stance that "yes" and "later" should never be the only two options for anything.
